Persimmon ‘Hiratanenashi’ 8.5L

Superb variety with astringent good size orange fruit that is edible once fully ripe. Highly ornamental with brilliant autumn colour followed by fruit on bare branches.

Persimmons are a fruit with a taste and texture all of their own. They have an exotic look and flavour – yet they can be grown in most parts of the country. Persimmons are a good source of vitamin A and antioxidants; they are eaten fresh; skin and all but the hard seeds are taken out. Persimmons also preserve well and are good in jams; pickles; chutneys and puddings.
